    Emo imo is like Goth's shy little brother who just needs a hug sometimes and they enjoy writing and comparing poetry but sometimes when Goth tries to show Emo their interests, they get distracted on their walk through the Cemetery and when Emo says something like "I wish I was dead". Goth just walks over and places a hand on their shoulder and says "You can be dead inside and still live a Happy life". At first Emo might think that makes no sense, but they'll understand what Goth meant with time.

The Smiths had songs about poets and meeting in cemeteries. People liked Joy Division, The Smiths, Siouxsie, The Cure altogether. No one really cared as much as they do now.

    I love how Goth and Emo are both subcategories of Punk and yet sound like different ends of the same spectrum. It's a weird phenomena. Goth is dark and emo is sad, I suppose? But Goth can also be sad and Emo can also go dark? Just in different ways though? I always found it weird. I was once an Emo who wore a Misfits getup and I had goth friends who did the same thing, so there's definitely an overlap

      I'm a bit of an outsider, never called myself 'goth' or 'emo' (which came after I was a kid) but I've always loved dark, stylish, unconventional clothes, makeup, dark entertainment, rain, solitude, emotional heavy music, and unconventional people who are unreservedly themselves. Eventually enough people referenced me as 'goth' so I guess I got voted in lol. From my standpoint, punk, goth, emo, visual kei, scene kids etc are all kind of under the same generalized umbrella: theyre' always the different people who feel a lot more feelings, and who think about things more deeply, and have a strong need to express who they are while not giving a shit what other people say. The music tends to be heavily emotional, regardless of genre.
      With A lot of kids it's just a phase to fit in a clique and they grow out of it, but everyone else, it's a basic personality thing. We're just wired this way. The particular niche is more of style choice that appeals.

I’ve noticed a lot of folks in these share those qualities is all.

      That doesn't say a lot about people morally or emotionally though. It could say you're intelligent or curious, or that you're superstitious and these interests are readily available to you due to capitalism. A total psychopath could have all those interests and then a very generous person could as well

    Hey, old Dublin goth here and there was a time for about 24hrs in the early 1980s when the term 'gothic punk' was used. I felt it was quite accurate and organic to be honest. 'Siouxsie & the Banshees' and 'The Damned' were established punk bands and part of the old school of punk rock, then Bauhaus and Sex Gang Children came along and there was a kind of a bridge. I had an older brother who had been an OG punk rocker and I described it to him as when punk became a fashion and you could buy ready-to-wear 'punk' outfits, the gothic punks were still making their own outfits, putting together bits and pieces and therefore were more 'punk' than the punks. He didn't like it but he agreed. 😂

    Elder Goth here. In the early/mid 80s we were listen to what you would call goth bands and dress black etc, yet was uncool to use the goth label, but we knew we were goth :P.
    In the mid 80s you used to see punks, goths and new waves and metalheads. All had very distinctive looks and music they liked.
    Emos started in mid 90s, Goths early 80s, so Emo took a big inspiration from the goth look. Goths were always into the music, you never used to see people dressed in black with the big hair that was not goths both in Italy and in London.

      It seems to me that people identifying as goth have never bothered to look at what was going on outside your subculture.

    I was never emo, but I went through a phase of Avril Lavigne and Green Day--as well as The Used--during my Mansonite years in the mid-2000s.
    Whoever mentioned "goth wave" in that post had to have been an American. I used to hear it all the time when I was involved with Obscura Undead in the past. Goth is simple: Post-punk, goth rock (three waves), deathrock, dark wave, cold wave, ethereal, and the New German Death Art movement. Sometimes neo-classical dark wave, but that one really depends on the band.
    We'll see you in the next nightmare! Cheers!

    As an adult female goth; honestly, since I got called 'emo' as an insult so darned often back when I was a teenager, it's more the confusion between the two subcultures and the claim that 'it's the same, lol' that tends to annoy me a little. Like, nothing against the emos at all (you guys are cool in my book), I just wish that the morons who use that word as an insult would use their single brain cell to google the matter. Like, then they'd know that it's the music; come on, you can't tell me that My Chemical Romance and Paramore sounds the same as the the Sisters of Mercy and Sweet Ermengarde! So thank you two for explaining the difference to the regular folks; I'm sure that the emos appreciate it too.
    Also, to all of you emo folks out there: hello, and so sorry that you all have to experience harassment as well. Also, your sassy comebacks to the weird barking that some idiots do are pure comedy gold, and I can't say that I'm not keeping a few of those in my back pocket for if I ever experience that. 🤣 Please don't let those morons get you down, okay?

    I love darkwave! I feel it works well to interplay it with goth . I know the difference but sometimes i like to listen to both. In Australia, the emo fashions came out of the 90s alternative rock scene. Imagine emo now but in rainbow colour! Then they swapped it all for grey and horizontal striping. AND then they adopted bands that produced songs that fell into the genre well. I personally am not a fan but i do have emo friends.

    I am a gothic person through and through and probably a lot older than you, I was getting beat up in high school in the late 80's for being one of 5 people that dressed goth and listened to the music. I literally slept in a coffin at 16 and my mom didn't know what to make of it. As far as Goth vs Emo, You guys nailed it. I mean, southpark tried to paraphrase it but they didn't do as good as a job as you. I no longer dress goth because I was born again 10 years ago, and as a Christian I have the freedom to dress like I used to, but for the sake of my personal evangelism I feel that I reach more people dressed casual jeans and t shirt.

    Interesting, and as an old school punk/goth/freak I would say… the worst thing you can do is label yourself. Most of the bands who were labeled goth weren’t actually trying to be goth. The best alternative people are people who don’t care what they are labeled, because they are secure in their own self.
    The only people who care about labels are the people who are insecure about their own identity. If something makes you happy and you love it, then be happy and love it. If someone says you can’t do X,Y, or Z… F them and be happy they let you know not to be around them. Don’t look back. You are amazing and deserve to be happy. Nuffsed

    I’ve had this argument with people since 07. Goth is a deep subculture made of various genres, various subsets, subculture’s within the subculture, there are Punk branches, industrial branches, rockabilly branches, New Wave branches, Glam branches, Classical or even Operatic branches, Techno branches of Goth even exist, and less popularly admitted slightly Metal influences like Type-O Negative or 69 Eyes etc.
    Emo is just punk but way less cool,way less in your face, and way less politically provocative it became a new style randomly in the late 2000’s, and has no depth beyond lyrics that mostly pertain to the teen experience. The shelf life of being emo is short lived. You will look stupid dressing emo past the age of 16-22. Unlike Punk rockers who have members of that subcultures now in their late 70’s early 80’s. Like Goth Punk Grows with you. Emo looks pretty silly when your not a kid. Once again teen’s to very late teens, and for those clinging to it can get away with being Emo until 22, maybe 23 but a 25 yr old Emo is kinda embarrassing.
    Goth even has a Corporate style for when you GROW UP and need to get a job, lol, Goth molds to you, aesthetically it grows with you, and you can get pretty creative with the style, you can Go high-fashion with it, you can go futuristic with it, you can go Victorian with it, you can be Punky with it, you can dress like a damn Goth Cowboy, or a Vampire, you really can do Goth however you want so long as you have the foundation of the music. Post-punk, Darkwave, Gothic Rock, Deathrock, future-pop, synth-wave, Industrial, Ethereal, etc.
    Emo is just Emo. And screamo, and Pop punk. Which is Kinda trashy and silly looking on a grown adult. When Emo’s grow up they end up looking like Normie’s with tattoo’s. That’s it.

      Yeah, you don’t see Emo extending as far into other subcultures as Goth. Emo is the teen who says “Let me alone!” And runs into their bedroom. They don’t want to go to steampunk parties or have fun. Goths have fun.

At first, we would get odd looks a Puerto Rican "fuckboy" dating a white goth girl but after a month, everyone just got used to it.

    As an elder goth (with irish roots, escaping 28 years ago to Germany...) I am very surprised that Emo is still a thing. All I see down here are heavily inked, middleaged hipsters with stretched earlopes and skinny jeans with somekind of sordid sneakers from back then. Back in the sceane ueen days I got mistaken as Emo, casually wearing everyday garb ..Feck,I am old! ^^Emo is pretty dead, but goth never really died. (Could be my black bubble though and not being affected by hairloss ) - Post-Punk is a very loooooooong chapter in music history with recent terms. Everything and anything palatable for a goth taste gets announced as Post-Punk these days. Went to Midas Fall last week, will see Miranda Sex Garden next weeks, saw Lebanon Hanover and Bleib Modern in the past....All announced as Post-Punk. It's such a generic term these days. I think: "Post-Punk is dead!" ;)

    Emo is so hard to categorize for me; I had never thought of Jimmy Eat World as Emo before, but I can see it. But then, there's also so many arguments over what is Goth music (actually, what is NOT Goth music). It all blurs along the edges. I don't take active part in either, but listen to both. And I always prefer black and skulls over other clothing and accessories. Getting to experience both subcultures as an adult usually means I've added bits of each to the overall of who I am.

    I honestly sort of don't know exactly what I am still. I was bullied years ago back in high school, and they used to call me emo non stop and people would say I cut myself and all these other lies they came up with that weren't true lol. I was sheltered a lot so I didn't know anything or what to call my style besides goth or punk rock . I actually have like the same exact style as Johnnie Guilbert if you know who that is, but I'm not a dude and my outfits are just like a female version of his. I didn't even know of the guys existence until some time back in maybe August 2023 or a little before so I was kind of surprised when I discovered him because his style was like exactly like mine and I never really ever saw or met anyone who had the same exact taste in style. I actually had compliments by some individuals that know me in real life saying oh its you as a dude, when they saw something of Johnnie Guilbert lol. He calls himself emo so I'm guessing I could just emo as well but I do love Goth style , emo style and punk rock style. I love the color black more then any other color but I like to wear other colors and designs as well like my Leopard dress and my white dress with black bracelets. Sometimes I wear this tyedye looking dress with my black leather bracelet that has silver metal ring holes lol. I get creative with what I have and what family give me as gifts during occasions like holidays or my birthday.

    We would joke that "An emo is a goth that can't commit." The main resentment goths had with the emo subculture was mostly just about normies mistaking goths for emo...either they didn't know the difference, or they knew it gets under our skin! Didn't really take issue with emos really, other than thinking the perhaps were bogarting the style somewhat. I would imagine most goths would be welcoming to emos...already darkly inclined we would of course endeavor to put them on the *ahem* "correct" musical journey. I wonder though, are there any "Elder Emos" or is that not a thing?
